As is tradition, Apple welcomes the last quarter of the year with the presentation of the new iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. However, and as usual, the new iPhone arrive surrounded by the new Apple Watch 11 And something more unexpected: New Airpods Pro 3.
Three years have passed since the launch of the Latest Airpods Pro And, finally, we have a new generation that comes with something as rumored as expected: A heart rate sensor. Because Apple wants the third generation Airpods to be the best friends of Apple fitness+but there are other novelties on battery and active noise cancellation.
Next, we go with all the characteristics of the Airpods Pro 3.
“The safest and most comfortable airpods in history”
At first glance, the new third generation airpods are identical than the second generation. The design follows the maximum of “if it is not broken, do not fix it”, but when we look more closely, it is when We begin to see some changes in its form.
Apple assures What are the more comfortable they have designed so faran objective they had to adapt better to a greater variety of ears. To do this, those of Cupertino claim to have used more than 10,000 auditory scan and more than 100,000 hours of research and feedback With users to slightly redesign the contour of the headphones and that are more comfortable and, above all, do not fall.
The new Airpods Pro 3 have five different pads so that each user finds the torque that best suits their characteristics and also has IP57 certificationwhich ensures resistance against water and, above all, against sweat.
Cardiac sensor, one of the great novelties of the Airpods Pro 3
The main thing in headphones is the sound quality and, currently, how good they can isolate you from abroad, but before arriving at that, it must Beats Powerbeats Pro 2: A sensor to measure heart rate.
The headphones are a mandatory accessory for many of those who do sports and Apple has introduced a PPG sensor that, thanks to infrared light, measures 256 times per second the absorption of light in the blood flow. The headphones cross that data with the integrated accelerometer for trace the heart rate. It is a technology similar to the one we carry in the wrist with smart watches, but in the ears, where we have a large number of blood vessels that can offer precise measurement.
Combined with Apple Fitness+, we have the option to see the heart rate data as if we carry a Apple Watch (also estimates the calories consumed), but they have also introduced something called ‘Workout Buddy’ that encourages us during the training session.
Live translation
The other great characteristic of the Airpods Pro 3 is live translation. We have been watching for years devices focused on this unique task With the objective that languages are not a barrier, and Apple has integrated it in the headphones thanks to the ‘Live Translation’ function.
Thanks to Apple IntelligenceWhen we enable the function, the Airpods pro 3 automatically translate what another person is telling us, all in real time. Besides, If the other person does not have airpodsthe iPhone can be used as if it were a horizontal screen, showing the transcription of what we are saying, but translated for the other person.
Using the cancellation of active noise, the Airpods pro 3 minimize the original voice of those who tell us so that we only have to concentrate on simultaneous translation. And good news: unlike Apple Intelligence in its launch, The live translation of the airpods It will be available in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Later (at the end of the year) it will be compatible with Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
Cancellation of noise and battery of the new Airpods Pro 3
The heart rate sensor and the simultaneous translation function are the two great novelties of the new airpods, but you were waiting for a new generation with Autonomy improvements and noise cancellationthere are also things to tell.
Apple has redesigned the pads, which are no longer only silicone, but of foam that, by themselves, offer better isolation from abroad.
In addition, active cancellation is twice as powerful as the view of the previous generation. They are also more efficient, since this function consumes more energy, but the Airpods Pro 3 have eight hours of battery with active cancellation and up to ten hours with the transparency mode.
Price and launch of the Airpods Pro 3
Views the main characteristics of the new third -generation Airpods pro, it is time to talk about the launch details.
